Overall it was really enjoyable. Each chapter changes POV and it was kinda hard to read from Todd’s perspective, he was a very unlikeable character.

This book hits the ground running and does not slow down at all. 

Hunted had me on the edge of my seat the whole way along. Every twist was unexpected and every perspective was a new adventure.

I finished this in one night! Like most Darcy Coates books, it’s just impossible to put down once it gets started. I did NOT see the twist coming and I actually gasped out loud when it was revealed.

That being said, I do think this is the weakest book I’ve read from her so far. I still liked and enjoyed it, but there are some clunky moments.

this book put me in a reading slump. it's my least favorite one by darcy coates so far. it took so long for anything to happen, i felt like it would never end. i'm glad it's finally over.

yeah i think picking 'dead of winter' as my first darcy coates book to read was a mistake because now i keep comparing all her other books to that and none of them are quite as good like they're not bad thrillers, but also nothing special and i am just so disappointed for no reason.

anyway, if you're down for a middle of the road thriller that really doesn't have anything wrong with it and the premise of lost hikers in the woods sounds interesting to you, you can give this a go! 

a tad too long for me and the switching between different pov's really undercut the tension-building. the twist was twisting and also made a lot of sense but was hard to spot. 

not very scary for a horror book either.

Interesting read where the twist is hard to spot - worth it in the end!
